General Motors rode strong first-quarter sales of the Chevrolet Bolt to bump crosstown rival Ford out of second place in the U.S. electric vehicle sales race.

Spokesman Said Deep said the company didn't build Mach-Es for seven weeks during the quarter, cutting into sales. Also, Ford was forced to stop making the F-150 Lightning electric pickup in February after a battery caught fire during a pre-delivery quality check.  ( 48 min )
